Wonderful story!
Black Terra Cotta HorseIn Feng Shui, the sturdy and noble Horse, when displayed, represents stamina and strength in life as well as in business - and of course the intention of 'winning the race'. Over 2,200 years ago China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, in search of immortality and eternal power, ordered the construction of a vast underground army of life-size terra cotta warriors and their steeds. Formal excavation began in the city of Xi-An in China in 1974; as you can imagine, the site is now very famous, with people coming from all over the world to see this amazing excavation. Our horse is a small replica of the horses that accompanied the 8,000+ warriors in this most remarkable effort to acquire everlasting life and power. Made of terra cotta with a black wash. 10" x 11".

Carved Soapstone Lotus Bowl/iIncense BurnerI don't know how much longer China will be able to produce these beautiful hand-made items. Soon I fear many of the items I carry will be in the category of 'lost art forms'. This wonderful lotus-shaped bowl with lid is of course exquisitely hand-carved, and can be used for jewelry and small items or as an incense burner, since the lid does have small incisions in it to allow the smoke from incense to curl out into the room. This precious lotus is presented swathed in a nest of satin in its own gorgeous brocade-covered box. The Lotus measures 4.5" wide and about 3.5" high. Item #FSE-IN-L. Picture. |

Incense Matches - set of 4What a great gift, and oh so practical! These can be used whenever you need a quickie air-freshener, though to be honest the first thought that leaps to mind for their use is knowing that the strike of just one of these wonderfully scented matches solves the often embarrassing problem with er, - dare I say it...

Mugs with LidsSip your tea out of this traditional mug with its own lid - the lid helps steep the tea properly as well as to keep it hot. I have used these cups for years. We now have 4 designs in classic blue and white. For those of you who do not know about the rice design, grains of rice are put into the clay of each cup in patterns, and when it is fired the rice burns, leaving a little cavity. You can hold the cup up to the light and appreciate the lovely translucent pattern that is created by this method. Item #FSE-GI-DTC. Picture.

Three Immortal Household Gods (Ceramic)The three most important Household Gods of China, also known as "The Three Immortals," are Fuk, Luk and Sau. Though they are seldom worshipped, their very presence is thought to bring very good luck indeed, and as a result they are found in practically every Chinese home. Fuk is the God of Wealth and happiness, who is pictured in the middle. Luk is the God of high ranking and affluence, pictured on the right holding a ru-ly, meaning that 10,000 good things will come to you with ease, and Sau is the God of health and longevity, pictured on the left holding a walking stick which represents longevity. Fuk should be placed in the center, between the other two, like in the picture. I have seen them placed in a good position usually in the living room or the dining room. These are classic, the real thing - made of ceramic, very colorful and well made. 10" high. Item #FSE-GP-THG. Picture. |

Set of three, nicely boxed. Item #FSE-GP-THGSV. Picture. |
